30: Chapter 30: I've been immersed in archaeology for years, yet I'm not as knowledgeable as a screenwriter?

Ye Xiao shrugged, then continued: "Just refer to the way beavers build their nests!"

"Or... you can do an experiment at home. Turn a cup upside down on the water surface. You will find that even if the cup is pressed to the bottom of the water, a part of the space will still exist inside the cup! And that space is filled with air."

"This is the principle of building underwater tombs!"

To help the audience understand better, Ye Xiao gestured with both hands in front of his chest.

The experts present were slightly stunned at first, and their minds began to visualize it as Ye Xiao spoke.

A moment later, realizing the feasibility of Ye Xiao's statement, the eyes of the experts present suddenly lit up!

Everyone looked at Ye Xiao with shock on their faces, their eyes filled with deep disbelief!

Old Professor Zhou's wrinkled face was also trembling, his lips moving as he kept muttering: "That's right! How did I not think of that! How did I not think of that!"

The method Ye Xiao mentioned was completely possible for building underwater tombs!

However, before this, Old Professor Zhou had never known or even heard of this type of ancient tomb.

For scholars like Old Professor Zhou, learning is endless!

Their thirst for knowledge had never faded in the slightest.

Now, when Ye Xiao told them there was another method to build a tomb that would not have standing water and could be perfectly preserved, how could they not be excited, like parched land meeting sweet rain?

For a time, the many experts at the Symposium were extremely excited, and they all fetched blueprints to draw simulations and conduct further verification.

A moment later, the experts present, having received a definitive answer, could not help but slowly raise their heads, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"The construction method of this ancient tomb... seems completely feasible!"

A young expert muttered, looking at Ye Xiao in a daze.

At this moment, he felt like he was trash!

Immersed in archaeology for many years, yet not as knowledgeable as a screenwriter for a grave-robbing movie??

What's the point of learning then??

This young expert had already begun to doubt life!

For a moment, he even felt that he was not suitable for studying archaeology.

Meanwhile, Old Professor Zhou's eyes were already moist.

No one could understand his excitement.

The unveiling of this underwater ancient tomb would inevitably bring a sensation to the entire archaeological world!

In the Seminar Hall, it was buzzing with excitement!

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Live Stream Room's bullet comment section was slightly different.

"I just tried it, what Ye Dao said is correct! There is indeed always air inside the cup."

"Why are these experts so excited? Isn't it just a beaver's nest?"

"What do you know? The exposure of this new type of tomb will inevitably cause a sensation in the entire archaeological world! Perhaps more tombs and cultural relics will see the light of day again!"

"Actually... I want to say, perhaps when Ye Dao came here before, he already knew the form of this tomb, right?"

"Yeah! Pretty much! When Ye Dao came before, he must have observed it specifically!"

"So that's it. Since Ye Dao has been to this ancient tomb, it's not surprising!"

Meanwhile, in the Seminar Hall, the experts present had already composed themselves.

Although some experts still had a flush on their faces from the excitement, they were not as red-faced and agitated as before.

After these experts calmed down, Bingbing quietly raised the microphone, and her clever voice rang out:

"Alright! Our Archaeological Team has finished resting and is ready to go!"

"Next is the most exciting moment! We are about to officially enter the tomb!"

"Let us wait and see!"

As she spoke, the cameraman aimed the camera at the large screen in the center.

White-veined Stone Platform

After the Archaeological Team finished resting, they finally began to observe the surroundings of the ancient tomb.

The first thing that attracted Professor Yang was the white-veined stone platform under everyone's feet.

Because the light that everyone saw in the water was emitted by this white-veined stone platform.

What kind of crystal could emit light for years in an ancient tomb without sunlight?

This made Professor Yang somewhat puzzled.

He turned on his flashlight and began to observe the white-veined stone platform under his feet.

It felt delicate to the touch, like warm jade, but upon closer inspection, it felt different.

Carved on it were thin white patterns, looking like... patches of clouds.

Combined with the dim light emitted by the white-veined stone platform, it looked like clouds spraying rays of light from the top of the Nine Heavens.

Just as Professor Yang was observing closely, the voice of one of the Archaeological Team members suddenly rang out.

"Professor Yang, there is a candlestick here!"

And as his voice fell, another member's voice sounded from the other side:

"Professor, there is one here too!"

Professor Yang hurriedly stood up and turned to walk towards the location of the two members.

"Quick, let me see! Where is the candlestick!"

The beam of the flashlight swept over and finally settled on two five-foot-tall candlesticks.

"This should be an Eternal Lamp, made of candle paste from whale brain oil!"

"Generally, Eternal Lamps are placed in front of tomb chambers to bless eternal peace!"

As he spoke, Professor Yang took out a lighter and lit these two candlesticks!

"Poof"

After a slight sound, a bright red flame was immediately released from the candlestick.

Just as Professor Yang was about to explain the origin of this Eternal Lamp again, "Poof, poof, poof" sounds rang out one after another.

As the candle flames on both sides lit up, one flame after another in front suddenly shot up.

These flames progressed layer by layer, lighting up one after another.

Everyone was stunned, completely frozen in place.

"...Poof"

With the last flame shooting up, the two rows of candlesticks were completely lit, illuminating the entire underground tomb!

And only now did everyone finally see the original appearance of this underground tomb!

Two rows of layered candlesticks were actually situated on a staircase that kept extending upwards.

Like a heavenly path to the sky, with bright candle flames on both sides, it kept extending upwards.

Looking closely, this stone staircase was actually completely suspended in mid-air.

Only the first stone step was connected to the white-veined stone platform, and the rest had no support.

At the same time, the audience in the Live Stream Room couldn't help but boil over when they saw this scene.

"Holy crap! This is... a staircase! What kind of staircase is so long!"

"Where does this stone staircase lead? Is it the gate of the ancient tomb?"

"Why do you have to walk such a long staircase before entering the ancient tomb?"

"The feeling of ascending to heaven! If this staircase were made into a spiral, I guess it could spiral to heaven!"

"What the f***? You are truly a talent upstairs!"
